Good luck today bumps!

 

[bumpyplease]

doc just phoned. all looking good so far!
mondays HCG was 10,088 and Wed was 16,494. apparently they are supposed to double every few days for the first 4 weeks and then by 6-7 weeks they slow down and can take up to 84 hours to double. mine are doubling in 67.7 hours or 2.8 days and she said the figures were spot on. getting the same tests repeated next week and she said after that there is no point as the results dont become as accurate as the HCG starts to plateau.

 

[filipenko32]

That's fantastic bumps!!!

 

[puppycat]

Just been sick

im seriously at my wits end! who new getting a divorce would be soooo hard! pfft

 

[Pretty Please]

Congrats to 17 weeks girlies !!!!

I have put on 5 ibs in 11 weeks it's bad - but once I get tired love eating chocolate and muffins especially when it's cold. Hate feeling like a wobbling jelly though !

Can't open that link on my I- phone although my hubby big brown eyes which are dominating and my baby has sky blue eyes I'd of thought they would of been brown but no. I also heard majority of babies born with blue eyes and then over 6 months they can change.

Tracie - are u getting a divorce or have I got confused?

I'm on parent entertaining now and over the we

 

[heart tree]

Damn, where's my ticker??? I was excited to wake up and see my ticker move to an onion. But it's not there!

Bumpy those numbers are spot on and you're right, they anything over 6000 take 96 hours to double. Here’s a chart from the babymed website:
NORMAL HCG DOUBLING TIMES
HCG Level DOUBLING TIME EXPECTED
Under 1,200 mIU/ml Between 30 and 72 Hours
1200-6000 mIU/ml Between 72 and 96 Hours
Over 6,000 mIU/ml Over 96 Hours

So yours are better than perfect. They stopped taking mine at 5+4. On that day, my levels were 11,574. I had a scan that day and they could see the sac but no fetal pole. But 3 days later they saw the hb. Not sure what my levels were, but high enough to see something. You’ll definitely see something on March 2. I’ll update the front page.

Pretty, you can’t see the link on an iPhone because Apple refuses to support Flash on their phones. I have an iPhone and love it, but hate that you can’t see any Flash sites. Don’t worry too much about the weight gain. It’s to be expected. Do you do any exercise? That might help.

Boo to sick Puppy! This little babe is giving you no relief! Sorry hon.

Mandy, I love hearing the positivity in your post. I think you have some good options in place. I personally think IUI is a godsend. I hope you are joining us soon. Please keep us updated on your blood results.

Jen, thanks for the advice, it means a lot. I think I am going to go with that new doctor. I’m not getting any sleep either. I was up from 3am – 5:30. Wide awake and my brain was racing. I fell asleep for another hour, but I’m exhausted.

Kellie, I’ve had more than one emotional moment with my husband. Just blame it on the hormones! Ha Ha!

Lou, I hope you don’t have GD! Good little Ethan for being so cooperative. Thanks for sharing his name! So cute!

Tracie, sorry your little Izzy isn’t feeling well.

Oh god, I’m so tired. And I have such a hard day of work today. I’m visiting with a family who’s son had an anoxic brain injury at 27 years old. He was putting his son to bed and fell asleep and never woke up. He ended up having some sort of brain injury while he was sleeping. He’s now 32 and needs complete care. His parents are caring for him and they’re exhausted. I have to go to their house and help them sort through their emotions and figure out if there are any resources that can help them in the community. Unfortunately, I already know there aren’t any resources for someone like him. So I end up being the bearer of more bad news in situations like this. So sad.

amanda, i wouldn't be able to do your job, i cried just reading that post! sux your ticker isn't showing! i think it was way early this morning when i was lurking, sometimes that website goes down and the tickers disappear then come back
i actually got 3.5 hours of a sleep at one time last night! but was up 4 times from 11:30 - 6:30...
i was looking on an iphone - no Flash...

tracie - are you ok? I didn't realize you were getting a divorce?

bumpy - Yeah!!!! congrats! can't wait for your scan!

lou - Ethan was my boy name too! but, DH doesn't want it...poo on that, I've liked Ethan forever. and will still push for it. i also like Kaden but we'll see. DH said he's picking the boy name (which he's a procrastinator so who knows when he'll get around to it).
I have the girl name, had it for many years

mandy - I think IUI is the way to go too, then you know when you o, the sperm is far up there, etc. you will be bfp soon!

 

[puppycat]

Well Dr actually diagnosed Hyperemesis today. I have different sickness tabs to try and she weighed me too. My bp was 140/66.

 

[hopeful23456]

hope the new tabs work puppy! what did they say about your blood pressure? mine was 130/80 last time but they thought it was because i was so nervous (before scan) and were going to take it again after the scan but we forgot.

 

[puppycat]

She didnt say anything which surprised me tbh! She said she thinks i have anxiety issues which i knew but i didnt feel anxious, never do when my bp's high funnily enough! The machine wouldnt work the first time she tried!

 

[3xscharmer]

Heart - happy 17 weeks!! I am due October 20-21 and Olivia's b-day is November 30...so (hopefully) I'll be giving birth right before she turns two!!

Bumpy - good numbers hun!!

 

[heart tree]

There's my ticker!

Puppy I'm so glad you are getting new tabs to take. I really hope these do the trick. You've been through enough.

Charmer, I was born on October 12, I was hoping you were due then! LOL!

Check out this crazy bump I seemed to have grown! My husband took this last night, so some of it is bloat, but still! I look huge! This morning I looked much smaller. Crazy.

My husband just texted me and told me he couldn't stop looking at the picture and that I looked "mother fucking beautiful!" That made me cry in a good way.

 

[Embo78]

He's 100% correct. You look like you're blooming

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Em! I don't even look that great in the pic, but as long as hubby thinks so, that's all I care about! I didn't wash my hair or have any make up on when he took the pic. He likes it because I'm barefoot, pregnant and cooking in the kitchen! LOL!

 

[Embo78]

Awe you guys sound so sweet

 

[heart tree]

I have a real keeper. He never thinks I look bad and he always tells me how much he adores me. I'm completely smitten with him! And we've been together for 13 years. You would think it would fade a bit, but it hasn't at all. Our love has gotten stronger over the years. He's a real gem and I can't wait to be a parent with him.

Oh god, I'm getting mushy!

Ok, off to meet with my new clients. Not looking forward to this one. It will be very sad. I might have to swing by Motherhood Maternity on my way home as a way to cheer myself up with some new purchases.

 

[daviess3]

Thanks for advice ladies on my issues lol! Hope I feel better Tom if not will go buy weetabix! Hate weetabix!! Yuk lol!
